Chapter 3: Long time no see, boy Zhou
"Brother Zhou, this is the outline I wrote."
In the bedroom, Liu Feng handed the three drafts in his hand to Zhou Yan.
"Outline?"
Zhou Yan originally thought that Liu Feng was painting the structure of the characters, but he didn't expect him to write out the outline.
Zhou Yan took Liu Feng's outline and looked at it, and nodded secretly.
Aside from the setting and plot, this very regular handwriting made him refreshed, and it can be said that Liu Feng really has a heart.
As for him writing an outline during class time, Zhou Yan didn't feel anything.
After entering the university, everyone has their own way.
If everything is to be done according to the rules and regulations of high school, it is not a university.
Learning is only a part of the university, but some people attach importance to it, and some people don't.
The direction is different, and the center of gravity is naturally different.
Zhou Yan took the outline written by Liu Feng and sat back in his seat, Liu Feng did not disturb Zhou Yan, but used Zhou Yan's water cup to take a glass of water for Zhou Yan, put it next to him, and then returned to his seat, Chen Xiaole and Yang Lei went to play, and the bedroom was quiet.
Zhou Yan also began to look at the outline.
"The Secret of the Dead"
This is the name given by Liu Feng.
There are no intentions and highlights, and even unpopular, if it is a traditional Xianxia creation, take such a name, either hit the street, or a god.
Zhou Yan estimated that it was the former.
The plot is very cliché, it is the story of an earth boy whose soul passes through the other world, and then inherits the memories of his predecessor and helps his predecessor to take revenge.
The map setting is good, starting from a small world, to the human world, to the floating slaughter world, to the fairy world, to the holy world.
It is equivalent to the protagonist fighting monsters all the way to upgrade.
But Zhou Yan saw the problem at a glance.
There is no emotional drop.
In other words, the protagonist has no motive.
The behavior along the way is more like what the author wants the protagonist to do, and the protagonist will do it.
It's okay to write a cool article, but it's pressed again.
For example, I first wrote how awesome a treasure is.,As a result, the protagonist operated it.,The treasure was obtained.,As a result, a bunch of restrictions were given.,The treasure can't be used.,Just do it.。
is also like the intersection of the protagonist and a beautiful woman, and in the next second, an accident was created for the protagonist to give her up.
Zhou Yan had a stomachache.
He dared to guarantee that if Liu Feng really wrote according to this outline, it would not be a flutter, but a bloody flutter.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is that YY is serious, and it is cool for the sake of coolness, and the result is not pleasant.
"Brother Zhou, how is it?" Liu Feng stood next to him, saw Zhou Yan put down the outline manuscript, and hurriedly asked.
Zhou Yan looked at Liu Feng with an expectant look on his face, and smiled slightly: "It's very well written." ”
"Really?" Liu Feng was a little excited.
"Just a little bit more detail." Zhou Yan added.
"Details?" Liu Feng was stunned.
"I'll help you change it." Zhou Yan said.
"Good! Thank you, Brother Zhou. Liu Feng nodded vigorously.
He also showed the outline to Chen Xiaole and Yang Lei, they didn't take it as seriously as Brother Zhou, that is, if it was good, it would be fine, where would Zhou Yan help him revise it.
"Brother Zhou, what milk tea do you want to drink, I'll buy it for you." Liu Feng asked at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan: "Just have a drink." ”
"Brother Zhou is waiting for me."
Liu Feng said a word excitedly and ran out of the door.
Zhou Yan smiled, such a Liu Feng is rare.
It's a little more dynamic than ever.
Zhou Yan picked up the pen on the table and began to revise Liu Feng's outline.
In fact, Liu Feng's character settings, map settings, and magic weapon settings are not said.
It is estimated that after reading online articles for more than ten years, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run.
But the online article is not an outline, a large outline of one or two thousand words is expanded into a million-word book, and it takes more than these so-called settings.
There are a lot of settings on the Internet, and what really needs to be perfected is the process of getting it.
Only by writing the process in as much detail as possible can you avoid the lack of content in the text.
Just rudely getting an object, a woman, and ignoring the interaction between the characters, the psychological transformation of the characters because of the event, that is the protagonist's one-man show, which is equivalent to a game that should be online, but you are disconnected from the Internet to play.
Fight all the way, and in the end destroy the world is still alone.
Played directly as a single-player game.
Zhou Yan ran an Internet content company in his previous life, and it was naturally impossible to let go of this sector, but his wave-chasing company was mainly engaged in new media, taking free channels, not competing with tome websites, but killing back and forth with the tomatoes that had just come out.
It's just that the backstage of Tomato is very hard, it is a ByteDance company, and it is supported by huge traffic, although Zhou Yan checks the content, in the end, it can't compete with the fate of becoming a second-rate platform, and can only barely maintain as a small part of the company's revenue.
The fantasy theme written by Liu Feng is placed in the present 10 years, in fact, as long as you stick to and follow the right path, you will not be worried.
Generally, rookie authors will ignore the importance of the outline and think of where to write, but Zhou Yan knows that the outline is very important, and the outline represents the main line.
Therefore, Zhou Yan revised Liu Feng's outline in combination with the main line, emotional landing point, sense of expectation and other aspects.
Just looking at the story of Liu Feng's soul piercing, inheriting the memory of the original body and rebelling against the empress, Zhou Yan suddenly had a popular name in his previous life in his heart.
"Eternal... God-Emperor? ”
Zhou Yan muttered to himself, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"The Ancient God Emperor" is a super-phenomenal film in the previous life, and it became a hit.
It tells the story of the marriage of the crown prince of one empire and the princess of another empire, two childhood sweethearts, but the crown prince was killed by the princess on the wedding night, and was reborn eight hundred years later, revenge on the princess who has become the empress of the Central Empire.
The core of the explosion is actually that the heroine's setting is very strong, so that the protagonist naturally has a huge status gap, thus forming a strong sense of expectation, expecting the protagonist to successfully take revenge on the empress.
Even Zhou Yan remembered that in those years, the core of the reception of major online literature platforms revolved around the line of revenge.
It can be said that "The Ancient God Emperor" is another phenomenal masterpiece after "Breaking the Sky".
Looking at the main plot line of "The Ancient God Emperor", it is actually a lot of routines piled up, no different from ordinary Xiaobai Shuangwen, but a huge revenge gimmick was added, which made the book quickly popular.
Nowadays, the online literature market is still very empty, and there are actually very few works on the market that can be seen, most of them are 'bad books' piled up by the platform's traffic, it can be said that except for a few real small white literary masterpieces such as "Breaking the Sky", none of them can be played.
Zhou Yan recalled the general plot trend of "The Ancient God Emperor", and revised Liu Feng's outline again.
Soon, a few pieces of scratch paper were full of revised handwriting, and Zhou Yan nodded with satisfaction.
It's just still a little messy.
Zhou Yan turned on the computer, created a new document, and put the revised outline code up.
Liu Feng hadn't come back yet, so Zhou Yan went directly to the counselor's office on the third floor, rubbed Liu Meng's printer, and typed out a few pieces of paper.
Liu Meng looked at Zhou Yan in a daze and borrowed his printer and computer, and waited for Zhou Yan to leave before he came back to his senses, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "This kid." ”
Zhou Yan returned to the dormitory with the printed outline, the mobile phone rang, and Zhou Yan answered the phone.
After chatting a few words, Zhou Yan put down the phone, looked out the window, and smiled slightly.
Liu Feng came back from buying milk tea, saw Zhou Yan, and directly handed Zhou Yan a cup of delicately packaged milk tea to Zhou Yan: "Brother Zhou, your milk tea." ”
Zhou Yan looked at the price, fifteen yuan, and estimated that Liu Feng should have hemorrhaged once.
Zhou Yan was not polite, took the milk tea, and at the same time handed the printed outline in his hand to Liu Feng: "You take a good look, you can ask me if you don't understand anything." ”
Liu Feng took the outline in a daze, he rubbed his eyes with some doubts, leaned in and looked at it carefully, and muttered: "The setting hasn't changed anything, and the plot is almost like this..."
"Empress, reborn..."
"Brother Zhou, is this really the outline I just modified?" Liu Feng asked with some uncertainty.
There is a world of difference between what I wrote and what I write now.
Originally, the outline I wrote was dry, but now after Zhou Yan's revision, it suddenly changed.
The plot is still the same plot, but it just becomes very cool, and his start is very cliché, but Zhou Yan modified it and added some background, which made this cliché start interesting, and even he looked forward to watching it.
It's incredible.
Zhou Yan: "Actually, I just modified it for you according to my own understanding, if you feel dissatisfied, you can still use the original." ”
"Brother Zhou changed it very well, Brother Zhou, why don't you take this over and write it yourself, I have a hunch, if you write like this, it will definitely be popular." Liu Feng said.
"The Great Age of Genes"
Zhou Yan waved his hand: "I don't have that time, and I don't have an outline, and the writing also needs to be polished." ”
"When you write a few chapters, show me first." Zhou Yan added.
Liu Feng asked uncertainly, "Brother Zhou, have you written it before?" It feels like you get the idea. ”
Zhou Yan smiled: "I haven't written it, but I taught others to write it." ”
"That's right." Liu Feng nodded, he finally understood why Brother Zhou was able to change an outline that looked very rubbish so perfectly, it turned out that he had taught others to write it.
That's it.
Originally, Liu Feng wanted to take the outline printed by Zhou Yan back to his seat and digest it, but his spare eyes caught a glimpse of the old draft of the outline that Zhou Yan put on the table, and subconsciously picked it up.
The dense traces of modification on it made Liu Feng feel something in his heart.
And he, a big man, suddenly shed tears at this time.
He looked at Zhou Yan and said seriously to Zhou Yan: "Brother Zhou, thank you." ”
Zhou Yan patted Liu Feng on the shoulder: "Write well, just write your results in the future and invite everyone to dinner." ”
In fact, he is not sure if Liu Feng can persevere, although he is quite persistent, day after day, but writing is two different things after all.
Of course, Zhou Yan didn't care much, he wasn't afraid that Liu Feng would waste this outline, after all, he could write a lot of such an outline, if he could help Liu Feng, then help, if he couldn't help, he couldn't help it.
"Come on." Zhou Yan said again.
Liu Feng met Zhou Yan's encouraging eyes and nodded vigorously.
Zhou Yan smiled: "I still have some things, remember to write the first few chapters for me to see." ”
Liu Feng: "Definitely." ”
He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must write it well, and he couldn't be sorry for the outline that Zhou Yan helped revis.
Zhou Yan came to the school gate.
Soon, a taxi pulled up at the intersection.
A man in a trench coat with a big back and sunglasses got out of the back seat of a taxi.
The man in the trench coat came to Zhou Yan, took off his sunglasses, and showed his signature smile at Zhou Yan.
"Long time no see, boy Zhou."
